CHURCHILL AWARDED MILLENNIUM POINT CONTRACT Churchill has won a three-year cleaning contract with Millennium Point in Birmingham City Centre. The agreement, which is worth £170,000 per annum, will cover general cleaning across the site, as well as window and washroom maintenance.
An iconic landmark in the heart of Eastside, Millennium Point is a unique venue destination in Birmingham City Centre. It is home to Thinktank, Birmingham’s science museum, and Birmingham City University. Owned by Millennium Point Charitable Trust, the building also holds a 350-seat auditorium, flexible workspaces, meeting rooms and offices. It was opened in 2001 to help promote STEM projects, organisations and initiatives across the West Midlands area.
Louisa Clarke, Churchill’s Operations Director for Midlands, North East and Scotland, commented: “This is a great win for the West Midlands team. We listened closely during the bid process to ensure that our service would exceed client expectations, and also demonstrated where we could offer something different. Millennium Point is a fantastic landmark building to add to Churchill’s growing regional portfolio. We look forward to working alongside its excellent in-house team.”
Facilities Manager at Millennium point Ashley Hales added: “We were impressed with Churchill’s cleaning technology, management structure and approach to contract delivery throughout the bid process. The Millennium Point team is excited to work alongside its new service partner to help deliver a clean and positive environment for all building users.”

CLOUDFM BRINGS FM
DEBATE TO EUROPE Cloudfm has cemented its move into the Spanish market with a thought- leadership event at its Barcelona office.
Following strong growth in the UK market since its inception in 2011, Cloudfm launched its FM model to the Spanish market in 2018, in a joint venture with Optima Facility, marking the next stage in the company’s push into Europe.
The thought-leadership event, designed to stimulate debate around the optimal management of outsourced maintenance services, and share valuable insight into how the current norms of the industry might be disrupted to reap rewards for all parties involved – featured a keynote presentation from Chris Drew, Chief Financial Officer at KFC UK & Ireland.

Outlining the ways in which the Cloudfm service has enabled KFC to transform its FM from a troublemaking cost to an investment which supports the company’s business objectives, Chris explained to the group of client- and provider- side industry specialists how Cloudfm’s methodologies and real- time visibility have unlocked extra value and positively contribute to KFC’s bottom line.
“With the right data, presented in the right way – at Board level – FM can be transformed from a headache-inducing necessary evil to a useful way of driving efficiencies in expenditure, including capex investment,” Chris said. “Controlled process, dependable data, and a commitment to doing the right thing for mutual benefit, can revolutionize the value that can be extracted from an FM budget.”
